able for the soldier boy recruit. Weeks
went on and the shoulders began
straightening ' until now he is as
f straight as any of Uncle Sam's sol
diers of the present day, although he
bears wounds receved in battle. He

Habits Are Easiest
Formed in Childhood
If you want your children to form habits
of thrift which are the basis of financial
independence, bring them to the bank
with you or send them alone. They are
quick to follow examples and if they do
not have good examples to follow, they
are bound to follow bad ones.
Thrift Is Not Hoarding
It is the Wise Distribution
of Income.
